### 2.12. SNMPv2 Management Communication Class

A SNMPv2 management communication class corresponds to a specific SNMPv2 PDU type defined in [2]. A management communication class is represented by an ASN.1 INTEGER value according to the type of the identifying PDU (see Table 1).

                           Get              1
                           GetNext          2
                           Response         4
                           Set              8
                           -- unused       16
                           GetBulk         32
                           Inform          64
                           SNMPv2-Trap    128

                 Table 1: Management Communication Classes

The value by which a communication class is represented is computed as 2 raised to the value of the ASN.1 context- specific tag for the appropriate SNMPv2 PDU.

A set of management communication classes is represented by the ASN.1 INTEGER value that is the sum of the representations of the communication classes in that set. The null set is represented by the value zero.
